Following his talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Anchorage, Alaska, U.S. President Donald Trump said Friday that it is up to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to strike a ceasefire deal.
There would soon be a meeting involving Zelenskyy, Putin and himself, Trump said in an interview with Fox News, without giving details on the planned meeting or a possible timeline.
He also said that European countries "have to get involved a little bit," while insisting it is ultimately up to Zelenskyy to "get it done."
"We have a pretty good chance of getting it done," Trump said.
Earlier in the day, Trump and Putin held nearly three hours of talks at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage.
It was the first face-to-face meeting between the presidents of the two countries since 2021.
